However, the water tank 1 used in the above-described bottle reversing type is provided with an air suction port 6 for adjusting the pressure in the tank 1. Bacteria in the air may be mixed into the water in the water tank 1 or the bottle 2 from the air suction port 6, and depending on various conditions during use, the germs grow, the freshness of the water is reduced, and There was a problem that it became impossible to secure water. In recent years, it has been proposed to provide an air filter having an extremely fine filtration function of bacteria having a fractionation property of 1.0 μm or less at the air intake port in order to prevent the contamination of these germs. There is a problem in that clogging of dust or the like easily occurs in the air filter, and smooth extraction of water cannot be performed.
